Combines charlotte mason and classical methods. Does not have an enormous amount of writing that is part of regular lesson, (great for my 9 year old who doesn't like to write!) does give you optional exercises that incorporates dictation, writing, drawing etc along with basic life skills like using a dictionary etc.

I bought 2 of the workbooks, one for each child, and they love having their own. It is well worth the purchase. I do not have to copy and they can follow along in their book instead of looking at mine. Everything is easy for them to follow.

This is definitely one of the most well put together and sturdy workbooks I've ever purchased. Highly impressed. It works well with the teacher manual (which is a must buy if you plan on using this curriculum) FLL sometimes uses a lot of "repeating" (Example- "I am going to read the definition of a noun to you 3 times... a noun is..... now we are going to read the definition together 3 times.... now you are going to tell me the definition 3 times..." which really isn't our thing, so we find our own way of making that part of the lesson more fun... and my boys have been picking up on these things quickly without the need to repeat so much. I love the flexibility of that. It is going VERY well and I am glad I purchased this. I

I have used this grammar resource for my oldest four children and intend to use it with the rest. I appreciate the scripted teacher's manual and the poems that are part of the curriculum. It has helped solidify my children's understanding of the parts of speech and how they work in a sentence.

I was so happy to discover the new 3rd grade edition of First Language Lessons when my daughter was finishing up 2nd grade I would highly recommend this curriculum My daughter loves to do grammar together! Even things such as diagramming sentences and memorizing prepositions are fun with this program! This is not something you can send your child off to do alone You must order the Teacher book and do each lesson together However advanced preparation in very minimal - about 5 minutes a day at most to skim over the lesson before teaching itThere is a newly released 4th grade program I plan to order it very soon! I'm really hoping to see a 5th grade program available by the time I need it

We are using this for our grammar this year Grade 3 is wonderful It teaches my daughter lots of grammar in little sessions usually taking just a few minutes for the lessons We are having good success with this You need the Teacher Manual; that is where the script is for the lessons You could get by not getting the student edition and have them write the lesson on paper I open the book read it over to myself once and do it with my dd Not lots of advanced prep There is no actual writing lessons so you will need a writing program

I appreciated the scripted lessons and the comprehensive content of level 1 and 2, so I have decided to continue with this curriculum for grammar, hoping for more of the same. It works well for my family.

I like that it combines the Classical and Charlotte Mason approach to teaching English and Grammar, and I read many good reviews on it. Also, that there's not a great deal of prep work that goes into teaching this.

First Language Lessons level 1 and 2 worked well for my family. My girls enjoyed it and retained information from the lessons taught, we used notebooks and journaling with those levels. The workbook will be new to us but I believe they will learn just as much if not more. We tried another language curriculum but it didn't seem like my girls were retaining anything and there seemed to be a lot of busy work so we went back to First Language Lessons.

Goes along nicely with our CC english curriculum (although I do substitute the specific CC wording for the definitions.) Easy, step-by-step introduction to diagramming and hopefully good preparation for upcoming IEW.

We have used First Language Lessons with all of our children and it has been a very effective program to teach them grammar. It is well scripted for the parent so there is little preparation needed ahead of time and it is very thorough for the child.

BEST ANSWER:Yes, the instructor guide is scripted to explain the lesson. The workbook has what the kids need to write in. I have used both for level 3 and 4. You only need one instructor guide. I purchased a new workbook for the next child.

Absolutely. The instructor’s guide tells you exactly what to say and how to guide the child through the exercises. This is a student and teacher grammar book/program, not one that a child can work through on their own.
